In many shuls, the question arises regarding waiting
when a rabbi is taking longer to daven Shemoneh Esrei and
people are getting edgy, since they have to make the train
to work or drive the kids to school. If there is a minyan in
shul does the public have to wait for the rabbi to come to
the minyan? Does the shatz have to wait for the rabbi? Is this
considered a burden to the public – tircha d’tzibbur? How
many people need to be available to answer a shatz before
he begins chazaras hashatz? If one takes out the wrong sefer
Torah, should he put it back, or should he lein from that one
even though it will cause a delay in the completion of the
davening? There are seven aliyos on Shabbos morning; are
we allowed to add to this number? These and other issues
which may be a burden on the public will be dealt with in
this article.

Please see the above URL for a discussion of these issues.

I note the following from the article

Adding Aliyos

We generally call up seven people to the Torah on
Shabbos.74 It is permitted to add to this number,75 but one
should not burden the public with many additional aliyos.76
Since the custom today is that each person makes their
own brachah when getting an aliyah, it is not proper to add
brachos by adding aliyos.77 However, if there is a need to do
so, i.e., for a bris or chassan, it is permitted.78 In any case
there should not be more than ten aliyos.79 Some maintain
that the custom is to add aliyos after seven usual aliyos have
already been called up.80 Others have the custom not to add
to the aliyos on Shabbos.81
